Melissa Joan Hart is set to release her tell-all memoir, "Melissa Explains It All", in just over a month, and the former child star has opened up about her new book, sharing stories about past drug abuse and celebrity flings.

The actress tells Life & Style magazine that that she's dabbled with a variety of mind-altering drugs, but never touched the hard stuff.

"I experimented with weed, Ecstasy, mushrooms and mescaline for about a year and a half," Hart tells Life & Style. "I was kind of running with a bad crowd. I just didn't enjoy taking drugs. I don't like the loss of control."
